Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Reef (Haifa) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one to write. The long and short of it is, we’re looking at a very quiet period with no real surf on offer. The first few days are a write-off, and unfortunately, that pattern doesn't really change.
The only break on the radar for this whole stretch is The Reef (Haifa). It's a beach and reef setup, exposed to the west, but it's described as *inconsistent* and is more of a beginner-friendly zone. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Let’s break it down. From Thursday, July 9th right through to the end of the forecast on Thursday, July 24th, it’s a long, flat run. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking double digits, with values ranging from 10 to 89. The swell heights are tiny, lingering between 1 ft and 3 ft with short, weak periods of 5 to 8 seconds coming from the west and northwest. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, adding to the chop, and the wave comment on every single entry says "poor surf conditions." There’s simply nothing to ride here – no standouts, no windows of opportunity. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
The one small silver lining? The conditions are clean and clear, but that doesn’t matter when there’s no swell to push through. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple, but don’t kid yourself. Honestly, for this stretch, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent onshore breeze.
Hang in there, and keep an eye on the forecasts. Things can change. Until then, the boards are staying in the bag.
Rusty.
